The German team prepares for a challenging match against undefeated Portugal, whose standout players include the Costa brothers.

Germany secured their quarterfinal spot as group runners-up, following a decisive 31:19 victory over Tunisia in their final group match.
Portugal has emerged as a strong contender, defeating handball powerhouses Spain, Sweden, and Norway, and remaining unbeaten in the tournament so far.
The Costa brothers, Martim and Francisco, are key players for Portugal, contributing significantly to their team's success with high-scoring performances.
Germany faces uncertainty regarding the availability of key players Juri Knorr, Rune Dahmke, and Lukas Stutzke due to illness, adding challenges for coach Alfred Gislason.
